Not here!!!!!!!! New profs are bustin' their asses getting preliminary data for grant $$ so that when their start up $$ runs out, they can continue having a lab.
Here, the profs not "at the bench" are typically ones with established labs full of undergraduates, graduates, reasearch assistants (me) and/or post docs. They aren't in the lab because they are in their offices preparing grants, writing papers for journal publication, mentoring their students, preparing for scientific seminars/meetings, prepping lectures, serving on various stupid committees, etc.
Even though they aren't 'in the lab' they are still up to date with everything going on in their lab, as well as in the scientific community as it relates to their field.
